I have a Black and Decker leaf blower/vac. It has to be a least 15 -18 years old. The vac housing has worn thru in spots several times over the years. Each time I have patched it and got a couple more years out of it. Last week a new hole appeared. Too many bad spots too many places. I...

Jimmy-James: I don't have an oxy/acet rig. Even if I did I likely wouldn't have thought of it. Bodyperson and Toolmanmike: Had never heard of the brand. Based on your advice, I got one. Before I even filled it I could tell it was well made. I have a few tools that were my Great Uncles and are...

I have started working on a brass Locomotive kit I have had for LOTS of years. I am thinking of getting one of the small butane torches for soldering. Any advice would help a lot. Kit is in 1/4" = 1 Ft. so some parts are very small. Old Weller soldering gun is OK for some of it. Would like...

Homedepot has a Roybi 35 piece drill bit set on sale for $4.88. It goes from 1/18 to 1/4". With 35 pieces it means there are several dups. For me this is a good thing. The little ones seem to get lost or broken. Haven't used them yet. One thing I don't like, the case isn't marked with the...

I had GREAT luck with "Easy Off" oven cleaner. It worked on years of crud in about two minutes. A few days ago it was time to buy more. The store's house brand was on sale. More for less $, cool - right? You all know what happened when I used it yesterday. It didn't work crap. Back to the...

I have three Craftsman tool boxes from the mid and late 60's. I want to repaint them. Does anyone know of any paint that will look about the same as the OE? Will not pay the $$$$ for Craftsman paint even if it still available. The red for the drawers is real close to Kyron Cherry Red...
